Merge Request

Merge request

Open a merge request / pull request for the current branch, or babysit an open one until it is merge-ready.

Router

1. Mode: default create, or babysit.
2. One prompt under [prompts/](prompts/).

create (default) — [prompts/create.prompt.md](prompts/create.prompt.md). Resolve change context and provider once, discover the repo's MR/PR template, compose a size-adaptive description, push, create, report the URL. Accepts an optional work-item ID, --draft, and --target .

babysit — [prompts/babysit.prompt.md](prompts/babysit.prompt.md). Drive an open MR/PR to a merge-ready state: watch CI, triage review comments, fix objective failures, sync conflicts, escalate design decisions. Accepts an MR/PR URL or number; defaults to the MR/PR for the current branch (typically the one create just opened).

For reviewing an MR as its reviewer — inline comments, approve / request changes — use the merge-request-review skill, not this one.

Sub-agents

| Agent | File | Focus | | ----- | ---- | ----- | | mr-babysitter | [agents/mr-babysitter.md](agents/mr-babysitter.md) | Background monitor-to-merge loop for an open MR/PR |

Spawn mr-babysitter only in babysit mode, and only when the host supports background agents (Claude Code Agent tool, Cursor cloud agents) — it frees the main session while the loop runs. Otherwise run the babysit prompt inline. create mode spawns no agents: MR creation is a linear workflow.

References

• [references/provider-resolution.md](references/provider-resolution.md) — detect the git provider and pick a tool: MCP → CLI → plain git fallback
• [references/template-discovery.md](references/template-discovery.md) — find the repo's MR/PR template per provider; fall back to the packaged default
• [references/description-guidelines.md](references/description-guidelines.md) — title convention detection, size-adaptive sections, metadata, body mechanics

Assets

• [assets/default-mr-template.md](assets/default-mr-template.md) — packaged

default description template, used only when the repo defines none.

Ground rules (both modes)

• Never open an MR/PR from the repository's default branch — abort with an error.
• Never push with uncommitted changes present — ask the user to commit or stash first.
• Never force-push unless the user explicitly requests it.
• Resolve context once (work item, provider, template) and reuse it — do not re-fetch per step.
• Assigning human reviewers is outward-facing: suggest from CODEOWNERS or

provider config, but confirm with the user before assigning.
